>>17825864How is it Athenian propaganda if the Iliad was based on the Achaeans, when Sparta was Mycenaean and not Dorian. It was also written down by Homer, an Ionian (mix of Ionian and Carian) in Ionia in Ionian (Asian minor, Anatolia, modern day western Turkey). The rivalry between Athens and Sparta wasn't even a thing back then. I swear some people on this board are such fucking morons they have no idea what the fuck they are talking about, but at the same time, state their stupidity with such confidence. It baffles me.
